Somebody has it in a softbrick thread all you have to do is use Odin and load tar file in PDA and start. Sorry don't know which exactly try googling it saw it while looking for faulty battery stuff

You haven't search much if you haven't found it.

[Q] unleaked 4.3 root or update? MJ6

Hi,
My S4 got bricked a while back and at that time the 4.3 leak was the only thing available to revive my phone.
I'm on 4.3 MJ6 firmware. I was wondering if there was a way to root that or update to a different version and root that instead.
Trying to get safestrap back on my phone as well, missing it from MF3 :crying:
Thanks in advance! :good:

either go with Heimdall or do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47586777&postcount=135
This will wipe data if the other method doesn't, i don't know though.

[Q] MK2 Bricked with Safestrap

I have bricked my phone by wiping data on the stock ROM with safestrap. I immediately regretted that decision. It was hung on the Galaxy S4 screen. I could get into recovery and download mode. I tried to flash the stock MF3 files using Odin, but it fails during write. Any ideas? I'm trying to find an MK2 stock image.
Thanks!
Edit: Found the TAR here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2621279

Get the mk2 tar files and flash with odin. You'll be good as new.

[Q] Unroot from 4.3

Can I use 4.2.2 stock rom (From qbkings walk through) if the phone has 4.3 rom on it?

No you cannot because you cannot downgrade via Odin. Use MK2 tar to unroot.
